I can never figure out what the difference is between gsm and cdma, which one do I have? Think GSM but dunno why
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
Maybe you'll find the answer on your box

('network' section)
[Desire Android Development] MusiQ1:
Box is @home, other home :P But; my device is unbranded, sim-lock free and all, so prob gsm?
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
It depends on your telco. Google it since we don't know where are you located.

I'm out, 'nuff offtopic for today.
[Desire Android Development] :
Seriously. Quit with the ridiculous questions people.

This is the Oxygen development thread, not the silly arse questions thread.

Take the offtopic questions somewhere else, like this thread.
[Desire Android Development] MusiQ1:
Jee, take it easy. Allrighty ontopic then. Just connected my desire to the pc using usb. Now i cant connect to my wifi anymore. Tried rebooting amd reconfiguring. What now?

Im on oxygen 2.1.1 and i wanna upgrade. What did they use before the cdma / gsm split so i can upgrade and all problems are over.

Are u in a bad mood mister? Sorry for my cynism, no hard feelings though ;-)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
If you're having probs with old build then first thing to do is update. Since you're having problems I'd suggest a full wipe.. backup apps via titanium first if you want (no system apps/data though).

Do you have a SIM in it? Then it's GSM.

M.
[Desire Android Development] MusiQ1:
Yeah having sim. Gsm it is. Now i can update. I allways do a full wipe. Backup with mybackup pro amd everything is fine after that.

Cheers for ur help
[Desire Android Development] :
No, just sick of idiots posting crap on this thread that should be elsewhere.
[Desire Android Development] juicejuice:
The joys of public forums! :D
[Desire Android Development] remorema:
thats what I tought but devnull somehow is draining my battery more than oxygen.

first 5% battery with devnull are wasted in my way to work 30 mins or so. while on oxygen those 5% will last at least a couple of hours. might be something with baterry stats but I'll stick with oxygen ;)
[Desire Android Development] libetz:
Thanks, and I thought I was the only one who experienced it - the camera freezes and then force closes.

You mean that you fixed it in the Oxygen test build?

Till the next release I will just delete the /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg file..

Sorry for not reading on issue 709 earlier.

MMS Problem

Hey there,

I'm on oxygen 2.1.3 with the radio that Adam recommend (5.09.05.30_2) and i still have troubles when i want to send MMS.

I tried the new ones (till 5.17.05.23) but still got the problem.

I don't use MMS too much but when i want to send an image or a file i must send it by email.

Anyway a function that didn't work before, work now and i'm glad to use my Ad-hoc Wifi (will try USB ad-hoc but i saw post telling that it works).

The problem had been known with old release of oxygen but didn't see posted here, if it had i apologize for the useless post.

Thank you anyway for reading :D
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
MMS works but you may have to configure it according to you network provider. For instance I'm with T-mobile uk, and they require a separate APN exclusively for mms. Don't think it's a dev issue. Check with your network provider or ask in the q&a forum.
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
Exactly, mms have got problems because of apn settings in aosp roms.

For example me, I have got T-Mobile Czech republic and I have to modify apn settings to get mms working everytime I flash oxygen with wiping.
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
Many thanks, that worked !!!

Just for french people on Bouygues Telecom, you have to force the network to "BYTEL" and to choose "Bouygues Web - mmsbouyguestel.com".

Thank you again guys for the answer :D
[Desire Android Development] roool:
Hello,

It s possible to have system.img of this rom?

My htc don t 'see' my sd card anymore.... so i would to flash ROM with fastboot.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] A380:
I've tried to find an answer to my question by searching extensively, but to no avail.

When, after flashing you r4 zip file without any errors, my Kernel is still indicated as 2.6.35.13-stable thalamus@Co-60 #1, that means the flash was unsuccessful, right?

I'm on Oxygen HBoot.
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Go to adb shell and type: uname -a

Compare the timestamp to the one on thalamus' page and you know ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Dirky:
How to return to stock ?

All the methods I've seen about returning to stock seem to require you to run the HTC Sync

program. However when I run the program it does not detect my Desire running Oxygen.

I'm guessing this is because I do not have HTC Sense running on the phone anymore?

I'm selling the phone and would like to return it to stock before I do this?

Thanks

D
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Use a RUU.

And besides, this has nothing to do with Oxygen, you'll want to ask in the Q&A forum
[Desire Android Development] xaps:
Wouldn't it be possible to flash the .zip via fastboot with the 'fastboot update' command?

I'm sure _thalamus could tell you how to create a system.img etc. out of the .zip, there are tools like mkyaffs2image which can help.

I suggest you visit the #oxygen-rom channel on freenode and ask for assistance.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I didn't include it because its an infernal mod, why not use the power button :s

I wanted to keep Oxygen open to being used on other devices, and there is only a few phones with an optical joystick and none of these are any I would consider buying, most if not all newer devices don't come with any sort of optical joystick or trackball, so what is the point?

Your probably going to upgrade soon because the Desire is EOL so there really is no point including it.
[Desire Android Development] A380:
Cheers Colonia

I'm not able to run adb shell: device not found.

Anyway: if there are no errors during the installation of the kernel-zip, is it reasonable to assume that all went well?
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Instead of adb you could use terminal emulator from market.

For the 2nd question, as long as you flashed it in recovery it should be ok.
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
Uh I'm hurt ... how .. how could you say EOL.....

Potter1984: it's ok desire I may let Adam fiddle with your internals, but I wont let you die..... :(

Sweet dreams my little Amoled..
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
LOL.... it may be eol but I've got another 6+ months on my contract before im due an upgrade so its not going anywhere soon :)
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
Well I'm about ready for an upgrade on 13/7/11 but not sure another phone will make me swap out my desire.

I'm gonna buy a Asus transformer, I just hope a honeycombed oxygen will be ready by the time I save up xd
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
i didn't find any phone yet to replace Desire :)
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
That's true, but still really sad to hear, especially from you :(

I guess i'll upgrade as soon as oxygen stops being supported, i can't really stand cyanogen right now, fully bloated and battery hungry :rolleyes:

The thing is i don't really feel like upgrading now, i got all i need here...i don't care about games, just a bit larger screen and some serious internal storage would be nice...
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
I think there are many of us whose upgrade will be decided by which device AdamG gets next. Running Oxygen for me is as important as any hardware consideration! If I was the boss of HTC, I'd be sending him one (fully unlocked) free in the post quick-smart...

Edit: And _thalamus :)
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
Are you sure your phone isn't USB bricked?

Symptoms:

- SD card not recognized

- adb not working

Try turning the bluetooth on. If it fails - then you know its bricked.

GPS~related reboot is still my only but very significant issue with Oxygen. It happened two times today using endomondo, I have the latest Oxygen w/o any hack, same kernel and radio. This makes me crazy...
[Desire Android Development] niels_kievits:
I have this too using the latest run GPS version. Though, using older versions of the app seems to work just fine. I think this is a application based problem. Using a stock htc rom seems to work better for apps like that but still, a app thing, not a rom thing.
[Desire Android Development] mortenmhp:
Well my device is more than a year old and my contract expired more than 6 months ago, but i'm definately keeping my desire for another 8-12 months. No new devices are really worth the upgrade in my opinion..
[Desire Android Development] leemwoo:
wow seems like everyone is in the same dilemma with contracts ending...mine ends at the end of this month too. =P planning to stick with desire and wait for a bit before adamg chooses his phone.
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
6+ months and maybe the nexus 3 will come out by then. perfect timing :)
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
ROM's great... sick of having no available space for apps though...
[Desire Android Development] Lanbase:
I bet you're not using oxy hboot+ext3 then...

oxy is still smooth as butter with

that config and appspace virtualy unlimited.

grtz
[Desire Android Development] Erroneus:
Yeah also sticking to my Desire (my contract ran out 9 months ago), it's still an excellent phone, simply because of this excellent ROM. Every person I show my Desire, is blown away by the speed and stability, specially because it's a phone from spring 2010 :)

Hoping to see a 2.1.4 where the exchange sync bug is fixed, before Adam chooses his next phone :)

shayne77: Take a look at the new HBOOT ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14259861&postcount=3683 ) made for Oxygen, this way you have 332 MB free for apps after you have installed Oxygen. And if that's not enough, create an EXT3 partition on your SD card (remember to backup your SD card first) from eg. ROM Manager or Recovery and you will have almost unlimited space for apps.
[Desire Android Development] eduits:
my opinion is that Exchange is working great, no problems with it.

it's not a oxygen bug.

working great with exchange 2007 and 2010.
[Desire Android Development] :
The bug where EAS stops syncing because the service died and wasn't restarted is fixed in the latest test build...as well as quite a few other minor bugs and annoyances.

A2SD EXT

Call me stupid...

Card is partitioned with FAT/512mb EXT3 using gparted. Phone is S-ON with standard HBOOT (It's just been returned from HTC after repair), newly rooted using Unrevoked3 and this is the first ROM install since it was returned - I reset to O2 UK rom before sending it back.

Full wipe and a fresh install of latest Oxygen and no additional apps installed at all, this is a fresh first boot

Settings->Storage shows

Internal Storage/Available space: 113mb

Settings->Applications->Manage Applications show

No applications: Internal storage 34mb used/113mb free

db shell ls -ld /data/app

Returns

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 5 11:52 /data/app -> /sd-ext/app

Why isn't internal storage showing more space, what am I missing please ?

TIA.
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
Because System Information isn't showing/seeing A2SD space. Get Quick System Info from the Market, it can show you how much space is left on your ext partition.

And don't worry about the internal space decreasing, as Dalvik is still stored there.

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.uguess.android.sysinfo

Edit: with the stock hboot, /data might actually run out... so either switch to the new 100MB Oxy hboot, or use a dalvik2sd script
[Desire Android Development] Funkyspider:
Quick system info shows

A2SD storage 473MB, Free 438MB

Internal

148/Free 110

System

250/Free 167

I take it this is OK, and A2SD is installed OK. Apps will install into EXT? I'm sure with previous ROMS such as LeeDroid etc the EXT space showed as internal, which is what confused me.
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
Yep, everything is working as intended... and yes, maybe other Roms modified the System Info to take into account the ext partition.

Due to the symlink, apps will definitely be installed to ext, except the ones that use native Apps2SD, which will be put onto the Fat32 partition. But no apk will use any space on the internal memory.

If you want to use Dalvik2SD, this one definitely works: http://db.tt/v8peqm4

[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Nope. Never.
[Desire Android Development] :
go away ya damn freak!
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
Damn. Could it be because I got S-off? Or H-boot Oxygen??
[Desire Android Development] :
do the usual, fully wipe reflash etc etc
[Desire Android Development] :
Lol, I didn't see that that because he's still on ignore for being an annoying, mithering 'person'.

1) How is that his business?

2) How is it relevant to the Oxygen development thread?

It really doesn't seem like a very appropriate way for a so called 'recognised developer' to behave, we get enough spam from the n00bs, but you can forgive them to an extent.
[Desire Android Development] :
Why don't you attach a logcat, and last_kmsg? Then we can take a look and see what the issue is.

If you don't know how to obtain either of those, there are plenty of threads/tutorials which will assist you.
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
I tried the full wipe and reflash many times.

Here is what I got from aCatLog

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22105653/alogcat.2011-06-05-19-51-41+0200.txt

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22105653/alogcat.2011-06-05-19-50-26+0200.txt

I can try upload another just after it happened.
[Desire Android Development] :
If it is a hard reboot, a logcat after is no use. You need to either capture the log at the time of the reboot, or provide a last_kmsg.

If it is a soft reboot or bootloop, capture the logcat before pulling the battery.

Almost forgot to say (lol), those logcats didn't show anything of interest.
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
I guess when I take out the battery while its still on, must be a hard reboot.

I will try and come up with last_kmsg if I can figure it out.

And sorry those logcats didn't come up with anything:D

Edit: Can I do a last_kmsg when it crashes?
[Desire Android Development] :
Um, it depends...if it locks up completely and you have to pull the battery, then probably not, because it won't have had chance to write it.

But if it locks up then reboots itself back to the bootloader, then you should be able to pull the last_kmsg.
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
Thanks. I will try that the next time it happens and then I will post it here.
[Desire Android Development] viruz82:

My contract has another 6 months left, but I'm entitled to an upgrade / contract renewal already. I too, would like the trackball wake. I'll look into this when I have more time as it would be a nice feature. Even if not included in future Oxygen roms.

Sometimes its just quicker and easier to press the trackpad instead of pressing power. Just sayin'
[Desire Android Development] mortenmhp:
Year and it is even quicker to press menu... And for that to work you only have to change 1 line in 1 file.
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
This is the only thing I could get. I don't know if its the right method to get "last_kmsg", but here it is.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22105653/last_kmsg.txt
[Desire Android Development] :
That is a last_kmsg from recovery by the looks of it. You must have booted recovery between the time you had the reboot and the time you pulled the last_kmsg.
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
This isn't the way to do it?

Edit: I think I found a way:

su

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /mnt/sdcard/last_kmsg right?

Oxygen & the Old Desire LED Problem

@ _thalamus

Is the missing 'blink' file that would otherwise be found in:

sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/blue

a kernel thing or a something else thing...? For future reference, how would I know?!

In the terminal, by executing:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/amber/brightness && echo 1 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/blue/brightness

I can get a pink LED, but without the blink option for blue, it's pretty useless...

Assuming it is a kernel thing, is it something you can easily add??

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] :
The hardware doesn't support a blue blinking LED, so it's a non starter.

You could do the the blink in software probably by modifying the bravo liblights, but meh, I really don't see the point.
[Desire Android Development] :
Yep, thats the way to do it. ;)
[Desire Android Development] kellyj1978:
If you flash the oceanis theme, you will get the menu wake working instead of the power botton to turn on. Its a quality theme for oxygen and has a few other extra features
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
Thanks for letting me know
[Desire Android Development] Nesrail:
It froze again and I tried the command but this time it writes "No such file or directory.
[Desire Android Development] :
Well, it won't work if it has frozen. If the system has locked up, it's locked up, and you won't get anything out of it.

The kernel should panic and the system reboot itself once it's been locked up for a certain amount of time, but it might take a few minutes, the kernel doesn't recognise a soft lockup until it's been locked for at least 60 seconds, then after that, it should panic and reboot the system.

So next time just leave it for 5 mins or so and see if it'll reboot itself. If it manages to panic and reboot itself we should be able to get a useful last_kmsg out of it.

Since installing 2.1.2 a while ago I've had a couple of bootloops but otherwise excellent performance and battery life.

However, while listening to a podcast earlier, my Desire went into a bootloop that removing the battery would not fix.

My phone will not boot. I can get fastboot, but launching recovery just causes another bootloop.

What do I do now? Help appreciated as It'd be handy to have a phone at work tomorrow!
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
If you can get to fastboot then are you able to re-flash CWM? Given the issues though... I'd probably aim to return to stock via RUU and start again from scratch.

Reboots

Hi Thalamus,

As the people can track I have a history of reboots from the moment I changed to oxygen.

Those reboots happens only when I am connected to Mobile network data only, 3G or HSDPA, no problem with: Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc...

This time happens with GPS and Mobile data network working, but this was happening to me allways with Mobile data network only, and usually doing nothing, so it seems something related with Mobile Data Network, so I think GPS does not have anything to do. Note that this never happens to me with stock kernel (in several months).

I think I have it. Today the phone reboots again but I have the last_kmsg and I think something really interesting and related with the problem I have (atteched complete last_kmsg):

Please Thalamus, could you please have a look?, I am having those reboots from the first Oxygen version I installed, the 2.1.2.

I hope we all be contributing to have the most stable ROM.

Many thanks for your help.

PD: Please let me know if you need more information. I am with the test version of the kernel to have those radio more information "logs", but this was happening to me from the first version 2.1.2 I have.

Radio: 5.11.05.27

RIL: Oxygen RIL.

Oxygen: 2.1.3

Kernel: The test one (r4) you have, but this was happening with stock 2.1.3 oxygen kernel.
[Desire Android Development] gigi2971:
Use the test rom all good for me thalamus has posted it.
[Desire Android Development] crfrank:
You don't need S-OFF (unless you plan on trying a different partition layout). Any recent radio will be fine. Sibere's scripts will work ok - use the a2sdkillerv11.zip to kill the a2sd scripts and then data2sdinstallerv1.3_gb.zip to install sibere's scripts. Just follow the instructions for more detailed info. Worked fine for me up to and including Oxygen v2.1.3.

Hope that helps :)
